Let's relive the 1980's

Let's relive the 1980's

Hiya everyone!!!!

I loved the 80's and I thought I would start a forum where we can relive our favourite songs. bands, TV shows, movies, fashions, celebrities, world events etc. If I had a time machine I would go back and experience it all, because as they say at the time you don't realise how special it is until it is over.

So if you grew up in the 80's tell us your experiences, what you loved and remembered etc. If you missed the 80's that is fine. we can tell you what it was like, how things were done etc. So please come and join me and reflect on this great decade......

I am going to start off by showing you one of my fav songs from one of my two fav bands (The Beatles being the other one). Still love this song as much as when I first heard it..... written by drummer Roger Taylor inspired by words from his young son.....Radio Ga Ga

Which indecently inspired the name of a current pop star...................

Thought I would post this movie that also resonated with so many teenagers during the 80's. One of my fav movies which also starred many of the 'Brat Pack'.

Yeah Tastes change Aye ... @TAB

I only caught up on a lot of movies in last 12 years. Too busy for a very long time, or watching for and with children.

I really like being able to research while I watch on the internet.

I dont think of it as such ... but yes @TAB I often multitask. Its a big mother thing and now I am stuck with it ... so I may as well be happy with it.

St Elmos made 3 times what it cost and still they call it a disspointment. Those movie peep like a high return ... on investment. Tut tut.

The video was nostalgic.

@TAB @Scarecrowe @Appleblossom Is this an old thread? I'm class of 84. I used to brush my mothers hair ALA FLOCK OF seagulls. She had alzhiemers and just enjoyed it. I also get away from the kids with my husband and sit in the car with a beer and pretend we are in a delorean and going back to the future. It's a second hand toyota camry with a dent in it. I loved MTV. Van Halen, the Smiths, Bauhaus. Gary Newman, Billy idol. What other bands did you all listen to? thriller great video.

Tastes are individual. @TAB Movies are often a spare time thing .. if you have any.

I like Aus movies (not all) and think the standard has gone up since turn of cent ... was too busy working at this and that .. to watch at the time of release ...

@Sweet_cheeks Welcome.
